The popular protagonist of glorious film characters told how he started his career in the Seventh Art.

The legendary actor Sylvester Stallone , who starred in two epic characters in the cinema such as Rocky, a boxer who triumphs against all odds and Rambo, an elite soldier who resists everything and there is no way to kill him, recently admitted that at the beginning of his film career was rejected to be part of one of the great classics of cinema.

Sylvester Stallone was never known for being a great actor, but he was a charismatic actor who multiplied fans like no other, playing character roles where effort, sacrifice, patriotism, epic and the journey from humility to success They were the axis that filled movie theaters.

Sylvester Stallone ‘s energetic and passionate performances quickly conquered the mass public and that was the target he was trapped in when he had to participate in other films. 

But his dream was always to make a mafia film and it was then that he said that when he was very young he was rejected to act in a big mafia film. Which one was he? The Godfather!

From Rocky and Rambo to fame

However, Sylvester Stallone ‘s ambitions at that time were not to go for a movie role. His goal was much more humble.

 He said that he applied to participate as an extra, people who complete the frame of a scene and participate for just a few seconds. He was not lucky.

Sylvester Stallone explained that he was rejected because he did not have the profile that the director, Francis Ford Coppola, was looking for.

 That’s how it was, they didn’t even accept him as an extra, but as in the great films that he starred in years later, Stallone did not give up, he continued forward without perhaps imagining the world fame among the greatest movie stars that destiny had in store for him.
